This file is the ReadMe for the replication package of my International Studies Quarterly article. The Harvard Dataverse page contains the following files:

- ReadMe.txt. This file.

- Replication_Reassurance_ISQ.do: a Stata .do file that uses ReplicationData_ISQ_Promises.dta and runs the analysis to recreate the tables and figures

- ReplicationData_ISQ_Promises.dta: the Stata (version 13) dataset that can be used to replicate the tables and figures 

- Replication_Reassurance_ISQ_LogFile.log: a Stata log file that shows the output generated by running Replication_Reassurance_ISQ.do with ReplicationData_ISQ_Promises.dta

- Replication_Reassurance_ISQ_Figure1.R: an R file that creates Figure 1 using the coefficients and standard errors for the substantive effects generated at the end of Replication_Reassurance_ISQ.do
